The purpose of this mapping is to define a heterogeneous set of module names. Simply a bunch of modules. This could be used to define a set of modules to launch a mass operation upon or a set of modules that must be excluded from some global process.
The accepted format is:
<map> <modules> <module>ModuleName</module> <module>ModuleName2</module> ... </modules> </map>
You will be able to get the set of modules using the getFullModuleSet() method.
